Björnskfestivalen 20

Björnskfestivalen 20 will be the twentieth edition of Björnskfestivalen, the music contest used to select the Björnsk entry for Maia Song Contest 28. It is the fifth edition since the show's revival, and was confirmed to be returning on 4 July 2019. In contrast to the previous few series, this edition was hosted solely by BTV.

Format
On 4 July 2019, it was announced that the show would return following a short break. While the ten-song format remained the same, the entry selection method was overhauled for a more simplified set of rules. It was hoped that this would encourage more artists to compete, and diminish the chances of the scandal of the previous edition from repeating itself. In addition, this series included regional juries, rather than international ones.

BTV also announced that entries would not be revealed through "Twitter teases" as in the past few editions, and would be announced to the public in a special "red carpet" event.

Entry selection
In contrast to past editions, an open call for song submissions was not held. Instead, BTV scouted independent artists and contacted record labels, seeking potential entries. The head of delegation described this process as much easier than previously expected, and were surprised at "just how keen the labels and artists were to compete".

Presenters
Davina McCall returned as host once again, despite previous rumours that she would be replaced for the anniversary twentieth edition by the original host Kim Chi.
